February 24, 200917 yr I'm currently killing Tormented Wraiths. They give a decent profit, and the '80 noted oak planks' drops have let me raise my construction like never before: for free, also. Well, I was thinking I would keep going until I got a Holy Elixir. One person (who wrote a guide on the Wraith, forgot his name) got one in about 1k kills. I might even get enough plank drops for ~70 construction. I have 7k till 62 construction, I have 240 planks banked, and I'm still going. So, do you think I could get it in a reasonable amount of time? I've already killed a few hundred, at least, and I only started yesterday. And once I get one, should I keep it and get a blessed spirit shield for my own use, or should I sell it (it's worth neary a third of my bank...)? Also, what does the monk charge to attach the elixir? When you go feather dragon god, you never go back.
February 24, 200917 yr The monk will charge 1mil for the task of using the elixir on the shield according to Zybez. I think it all comes down to luck. You might be fortunate to get it in 1k kills, or it could take you 5k. Either way, be prepared for a long haul.
February 24, 200917 yr Author The monk will charge 1mil for the task of using the elixir on the shield according to Zybez. Oh. Then I'll see if I can find someone who would be willing to do a Spirit Shield+Elixir/Blessed Shield trade. I think it all comes down to luck. You might be fortunate to get it in 1k kills, or it could take you 5k. Well aware of that : Either way, be prepared for a long haul. It's actually kind of fun, yet profitable. Also very afkable. And while we're talking- #3 When you go feather dragon god, you never go back.
February 24, 200917 yr Author I'm still wanting an answer to whether or not a blessed spirt shield would be worth it, or if I should sell it in favor of better equipment. When you go feather dragon god, you never go back.
February 24, 200917 yr Author it's unsellable so you are better off trying to sell the elixer Wait, so the shield doesn't sell but the elixir does? But is the shield worth using for myself? When you go feather dragon god, you never go back.

But how good are these shields anyways... Looks at these stats of Dragon sq shield+Blessed spirit shield. Link to stats: http://www.tip.it/runescape/index.php?rs2item_id=8001 Link to stats: http://www.tip.it/runescape/index.php?rs2item_id=2473 Armadyl Boss Room (Analyze of monsters and their attack style): Kree'arra: Magic+Ranged+Melee(Very rare) attack tyle. You pray ranged, so range is out. Magic attacks is taken... Wingman Skree: Magic attack style. You pray ranged at Armadyl boss, so magic is taken. Flight Killisa: Melee attack style. You pray ranged,so melee damage is taken. Flockleader Geerin: Ranged attack style. You pray ranged, so no ranged damage is taken. So at Armadyl boss what's best defenses to focus on? Melee and magical defense. Blessed spirit shield has that. It's not better than DFS, but it's worth the price. It's better than Dragon sq (melee defense wise even), and has +3 prayer bonus and no negative effect on range attack bonus. It's good shield to use at Armadyl in other words. :) Hope you understood my point.
February 25, 200917 yr Ah yes, I see your point. Still, the blessed ones are so expensive. :? Thoroughly retired, may still write now and again

But how good are these shields anyways... Well, my current outfit is- Torag's Top and Legs Barrows Gloves Fury Amulet Dragon Boots Rune Defender Quest Point Cape Netz Helm Abbysal Whip So, that's pretty much the optimal outfit, short of getting crazy expensive Bandos... I know I could improve with Fire Cape, and Verac's bottom. Blessed shield, I would suppose, is good for range tanking, as SirMemen said; it doesn't have any attack negatives, as most shields have. It even has very good defence, with its total bonuses outranked only by the insaney high-priced Sigil Shields or a out-of-my-price-range DFS. Ranging is already my highest combat stat, outranking even my HP. Noticing that, whilst kiling Wraith's, I decided to get it at least over 90, and quite probably 99 (and with no [bleep]ing crunch training). The money from selling, however, could net me an armydal helmet, or a robin+darkbow+karil's top and bottom. But I think I've settled on keeping it. I'll probably be training range in soul wars. The extra defence would help a ton, and there's simply the aspect of it being so rare. Armydal helm, anyway, is only a few more bonuses, not enough for to be willing to buy it. Oh, and I don't hunt Kree'arra. When you go feather dragon god, you never go back.
February 25, 200917 yr Author Ah yes, I see your point. Still, the blessed ones are so expensive. :? Which is way I'm kilign Wraiths for it #-o When you go feather dragon god, you never go back.
February 25, 200917 yr DFS has +20 defnse more in stab,slash and range def more than blessed spirit shield. Let's look at price of shields: Blessed spirit shield: 5.0M medium price. Has +3 prayer and 0 negative bonus more than DFS DFS: 17.3M and +20 def more in stab,slash and range. BSS is worth its price id say. P.S the shield is also great choice at Bandos if your not tanking, and Zamorak boss. That is if you are ranging. :thumbup:
February 25, 200917 yr Author Right now I'm getting SC hammers to use up the 320 oak planks from my latest trip (58-63 construction just from plank drops), so I'm taking a break. (EDIT: Disconnected first game, less than minute in. Only for a few seconds, even. Gf Jagex...) P.S the shield is also great choice at Bandos if your not tanking, and Zamorak boss. That is if you are ranging. :thumbup: I don't do GWD... But I might, after I get 90 ranging. When you go feather dragon god, you never go back.
February 25, 200917 yr It still helps for most situations involving damage from melee monsters when ranging.
February 25, 200917 yr Author It still helps for most situations involving damage from melee monsters when ranging. Aware of that. Thanks for the insight, it's been helpful. Just got 64 construction, by the way ^_^ When you go feather dragon god, you never go back.
February 25, 200917 yr Congratulations. As for BSS, majority of Runescape don't have idea how good shield it is. Atleast for ranging \

So it's the ultimate lighweight (runecraft) shield! greatly worth the time! + as said it's a good shield if you're ranging/maging! (though mostly I use the zammy book instead) First they came to fishingand I didn't speak out because I wasn't fishing Then they came to the yewsand I didn't speak out because I didn't cut yews Then they came for the oresand I didn't speak out because I didn't collect ores Then they came for meand there was no one left to speak out for me.
February 25, 200917 yr Wow i did not realize how junky the shield was besides the crush defense bonuses. Other than that what other purpose does it serve?

February 25, 200917 yr I read every post in this thread... :wall: Even though it it light and has no negative bonuses why is it good for anything besides GWD (if dfs still isnt the better choice here)?
